Concentrações séricas de proteínas, metabólitos e enzimas do jacaré tinga Caiman crocodilus (CROCODYLIA, ALLIGATORIDAE) da região do médio Rio Araguaia [PDF]

, 2015
Caiman crocodilus is popularly known as caimans, belonging to Sub Class Archosauria, Alligatoridae Family, subfamily Aligatorinae. The objective was to measure the variations of the biochemical constituents of Caimam free crocodilus, using 30 species ...

Illegal trade of crocodylians in Colombia: Spatiotemporal dynamics and implications on conservation efforts

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Crocodylian conservation effectiveness has been limited by illegal trade as well as changes in control and trade policies. We assessed spatiotemporal dynamics of illegal crocodylian trade in Colombia from 2010 to 2022 based on data collected by regional and district environmental authorities and discussed its implications on conservation efforts ...

Extended mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses yield new insight into crocodylian evolution and their survival of the Cretaceous–Tertiary boundary

, 2007
caiman, Paleosuchus trigonatus, and Cuvier’s dwarf caiman, Paleosuchus palpebrosus, were sequenced and included in a mitogenomic phylogenetic study. The phylogenetic analyses, which included a total of ten crocodylian species, yielded strong support to a

Pseudosuchian thermometabolism: A review of the past two decades

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 2, Page 315-341, February 2025.
Abstract Pseudosuchia, one of the two main clades of Archosauria, is today only represented by some 20 extant species, the crocodilians, representing only a fraction of its extinct diversity. Extant crocodilians are ectotherms but present morphological and anatomical features usually associated with endothermy.

Positive Selection of TLR2 and MyD88 Genes Provides Insights Into the Molecular Basis of Immunological Adaptation in Amphibians

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
We found that recurrent positive selection has acted on TLR2 and MyD88 in amphibians and positively selected sites were mainly located at or close to function domains. Our results suggest that amphibians have adapted to different pathogenic microorganisms during their transition from the aquatic to terrestrial environment and diversification into ...

Assessing abundance–suitability models to prioritize conservation areas for the dwarf caimans in South America

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
This study identified conservation priorities for the South American dwarf caimans (Paleosuchus palpebrosus and P. trigonatus) relying on robust species distribution and abundance models. We support that environmental suitability and spatial abundance are not always congruent and cannot be considered reliable surrogates for one another, and ...

Mitogenomic analyses place the gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) on the crocodile tree and provide Pre-K/T divergence times for most crocodilians

, 2005
Based on morphological analyses, extant members of the order Crocodylia are divided into three families, Alligatoridae, Crocodylidae, and Gavialidae. Gavialidae includes one species, the gharial, Gavialis gangeticus.

Ontogenetic and interelemental study of appendicular bones of Caiman latirostris Daudin, 1802 sheds light on osteohistological variability in crocodylians

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 4, April 2024.
This in‐depth investigation provides unprecedented insight into the kinds of bone tissues that Caiman latirostris deposits during growth. Microstructural variability is related to differences in the prevailing environment. Abstract The osteohistology of vertebrates provides a reliable source to deduce biological information, particularly regarding ...
